About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to this well-maintained Sky High Ranch cabin, located on the only plowed roads in the entire Bear Valley area. You can drive right to the cabin, even in the heart of winter. Just 5 minutes from Bear Valley Village and the ski slopes, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers the perfect balance between accessibility and seclusion. The property has a beautiful mix of pine, fir, and aspen trees. Set back from the road it truly feels like a private mountain retreat. Recent upgrades include a new deck and new septic tank installed in 2022. A new roof had been installed right before that. The dirt-floor basement has been encapsulated in concrete, providing clean and practical storage space. The main bedroom and full bath are conveniently located on the first floor, just off the kitchen. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms and a half-bath provide comfortable accommodations for guests or family. Your HOA dues pay for plowing and a state-of-the-art, un-metered water system delivering pure as the driven snow water from a 760-foot deep well. Just half a block up the street lies the scenic Sky High Ranch pond and meadow, where you'll find excellent cross-country skiing, hiking, and mountain bikingall accessible directly from your doorstep. In early winter, when conditions are just right, enjoy a rare treat: natural ice skating on the pond.
